As a OpenSats grantee every quarter I need to report what I've done regarding to my grant application. This is my second 90-day report (Augustus - October 2024) for the work I've done for the Nostr-PHP helper library.
While a new version of PHP is released (8.4) the latest version of 8.2 and 8.3 introduced a bug which leads to errors for signing en verifying events in the library.
Summary of Nostr stuff I worked on in these two weeks.
1 year later, why Nostr still resonates and NIP-19 struggles with encoding TLV
After 1 year deciding to do more with Nostr, my love for the protocol has grown significant. It's not only the protocol, but also being part of an ideology-driven movement is something that really hits a sensitive chord.
FOSDEM 2025, NIP-42 and NIP-19, transpher
FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. With a group of volunteers we would like to attend the event with a stand / booth. In this article you can read our submission for a Nostr stand.
Week 42 updates
Week 40: PHP async concurrent websocket requests Week 41: Nostrdam and the Nostr booth @ Bitcoin Amsterdam 2024
Weekly updates for week number 39.
Some work in progress updates of this week.
Working out the code for doing async PHP requests with a WebSocket connection and the famous Http/Guzzle client.
A lot of Nostr side-projects are on my plate as we're gearing up for setting up a next-level Nostr Booth at Bitcoin Amsterdam. For Nostr-PHP I finally started to work out a proof-of-concept doing async concurrent requests.
I picked up the work from kriptonix he has done a couple of weeks ago for setting a structure of handling relay responses.
From May 23 till May 25 I was in the Bitcoin capital of The Netherlands: Arnhem. There was a full program around the conference day on Saturday. I and many other bitcoiners gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of #bitcoincity Arnhem.
There is no easy way for PHP developers to integrate Nostr in PHP powered websites and applications. To let the adoption of Nostr grow, it needs to be integrated into the web as it exists today with the many PHP powered websites and applications.
